Puffer & Sons v. Caldwell
Supreme Court of Georgia
Puffer & Sons v. Caldwell, 111 Ga. 798 (Ga. 1900)
36 S.E. 927; 1900 Ga. LEXIS 720
Lumpkin
Puffer & Sons v. Caldwell
Opinion of the Court
1. The instrument construed in this case was plainly a mortgage conferring upon the mortgagees power to seize and sell the property and the right to become purchasers thereof at their own sale.
2. A widow’s right to a year’s support is superior to the lien of a mortgage given by her deceased husband upon personal property to secure the purchase-money of the same. See Ullman v. Title Company, 96 Ga. 625, and cases cited. Judgment affirmed.
